The snacks, hot breakfast items, electric kettle, tissues, and paper towels have made a wonderful difference in our daily classroom routines.\r\n\r\nMany of my students are English Language Learners who are adjusting to a new language, school, and culture. Having snacks and warm breakfast options available helps ensure that students aren't trying to learn on an empty stomach. The electric kettle allows us to prepare warm food, which is especially appreciated on cold mornings. My students were excited to see the new supplies and grateful to have these little comforts available throughout the school day. The tissues and paper towels also help us keep our classroom clean, healthy, and comfortable.\r\n\r\nThese donations provide so much more than food and basic supplies. They help create a sense of community and belonging. Students know that our classroom is a place where they are cared for and supported. As we continue developing English language skills through reading, writing, and conversation, these resources will help students stay focused, energized, and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping me meet my students' basic needs so they can concentrate on what matters most: learning, growing, and feeling successful.

I truly believe that hungry kids can't learn to their fullest potential, and having snacks available in my classroom helps ensure that hunger doesn't become a barrier to learning. My students can now grab a snack when they need one, allowing them to refocus their energy on learning biology rather than worrying about an empty stomach. When students first saw the snacks available in the classroom, they were excited to have something they could grab when they needed a little extra fuel throughout the school day. It may seem like something small, but these snacks can make a big difference in helping students feel supported, cared for, and ready to learn. Your generosity has given me another way to show my students that their well-being matters!\r\n\r\nAs we continue through our biology curriculum, my students are exploring the fascinating world of living organisms and how they interact with their environment. We are working on building a strong foundation of scientific knowledge through class discussions, hands-on activities, and opportunities to think critically about the world around us. Having snacks available will help students stay focused and engaged as they tackle challenging concepts and participate in classroom activities. Your support goes beyond providing food; it helps create a classroom environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, participating, and doing their best. Thank you for investing in my students and helping me meet one of their most basic needs so they can focus on learning. I am incredibly grateful for your kindness and generosity!","fullyFundedDate":1791338485072,"projectUrl":"project/snack-time/10723624/","projectTitle":"Snack Time!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rish","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9782622_orig.jpg?crop=1797,1797,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1772816585415","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9782622"},{"teacherId":9765601,"projectId":8803787,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation to my classroom and our school as a whole.

Students are able to use them during independent work, note-taking, and other activities when they need something small to keep their hands busy while they focus. They have been especially helpful during longer lessons when students are expected to listen, process new information, and stay engaged for an extended period of time.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, students were excited to see the variety of fidgets and immediately wanted to try them out. It was great to see students recognize that these tools were there to help them learn and focus, rather than simply being something fun to play with. Students have also done a nice job sharing and taking care of the materials so that everyone can benefit from them.\r\n\r\nRight now, we are continuing to build our understanding of biology through hands-on activities, discussions, and independent work. Having these fidgets available gives students another tool to help them stay focused and comfortable while they learn.

Instead of just walking timed laps, they were motivated by their actual step counts, allowing me to introduce much more diverse and engaging fitness activities.

But now, students seem to feel more comfortable. We've provided socks, hats, deodorant and many other supplies to students in need\r\n\r\nWe informed the staff of your donation as well and received much positive feedback and referrals allowing us to reach out to students who also may be in need but are too embarrassed to come forward. It still amazes me when I realize how some students just lack the basics many of us take for granted, sometimes allowing it to affect their school attendance as they are too embarrassed to come due to lack of cleanliness or improper clothing.
